I like the blonde at 0:28 with flower in her hair. This was probably a staged event with professional photographers + assistants holding a handheld silver reflector to accommodate the model moving around.

Are you sure it is a western news chick? Most of the RT reporters are Russian, but speak impeccable english.

The RT News satellite station based in USA can't hire Russian news anchors for their cable network unless they have dual citizenship. They may hire on the spot Russian news people that travel to other countries but the ones actually in the studio would be Americans. That's what the other networks do as well. There is no way a Russian citizen could work legally in the USA unless they had a green card. The government isn't going to let a Russian go to America just to anchor the news, what's the point? They might as well just stay in Russia and broadcast. A lot of the RT News you see on the English cable channels is based in their Washington DC bureau.

However I just watched it again and the guy is from the UK no doubt, the girl is hard to distinguish but I think I found her bio so even if she grew up in the states her overseas schooling may have given her a weird accent. But even if the two are in Moscow doing the news they are both of Western origin.
